Large language models (LLMs) are a type of artificial intelligence algorithm that are neural networks with many parameters (typically billions of weights or more), trained on large quantities of unlabelled text using self-supervised learning. LLMs emerged around 2018 and performed well at various tasks, such as natural language understanding, generation, question answering, summarization, translation, and more. LLMs have the ability to generate realistic and coherent text that can pass the Turing test, write fiction, develop computer code, and speculate on the future.  LLMs are also known as foundation models, as they can be fine-tuned or adapted to specific domains and applications.
